these anti-muslim muslim groupsb became stronger, became our deeply intertwined into the mainstream becausethey had allies. like mike pompeo. and so it wasn't a coincidence when a presidential candidate stood up and said if you elect me i will ban on muslim some entering the united states, he wasn't laughed off the debate stage. he was left off the debate stage because this conspiracy of islamophobia had penetrated the mainstream because of its access to people like the nominee to be the secretary of state. that is disqualifying to me. that is not about mike pompeo's views. it's not about my differences with the policies he is going to espouse as secretary ofs state. that speaks to his qualifications. and so this is one of the most important debates that we're going to have. and these are exceptional times for both of us, republicans and democrats, dede with an initiation that conducts its self very differently than others. but when it comes down to it i don't think that by casting a no vote i'm violating the traditions of this body, which have admittedly given deference to the president in

now one of the muslim majority countries was just removed. this is a big picture spent tied to the white house to deliver on the total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> as far as a new take on it where do you stand on it. >> i'm proud to be a signatory to a in which i was joined by 51 former colleagues. national security officials with both parties. our views it doesn't really adjust the national security threat. when this went into effect he kept 250 million people from entering the country. that's come from individuals. keeping out whole countries it's bad for america standing in the world. >> when the court debates this will be the argument from the government standpoint the challenges brought by the state of hawaii and other plaintiffs. with the government says is that the courts has nothing to see. it's off-limits. that's a bold argument given how controversial this is. it doesn't capture what the court has done in the past. getting past that the government makes the argument that the president deserves cour

the population of the predominantly muslim countries on this list make up about 8% of the world's muslimcountries with the most muslims, exactly one, iran, would be on that list of the top ten. so would a reasonable observer think this was a muslim ban? >> interesting to hear. there's the conservative perspective. the key line is at the beginning, would any reasonable observer reading this proclamation, without taking into statements. if you just push the trump campaign aside, would you think it was a muslim ban? >> it sounds like he was taking trump seriously but not literally. this case wraps up so many things into it here. the muslim ban on the campaign was such an emotional moment, and really had the support from a lot of people. trump may not win a new hampshire primary without that muslim ban. but the nuances is not going to be what people read it in. they'll read it whether it was a good or bad thing. what the justices are looking at here is a very specific line of whether the president had the power to implement it. >> here's another key question, anthony kennedy saying if i don'

six were muslim majority countries, and in this third attempt at a travel why must lu majorilump -- muslim. now, chad was just removed a couple weeks ago. but seven countries at stake. and big picture. this has been tied by the white house back to promise that donald trump made when he was candidate to total shut down of the muslims entering the united states, that was his words. >> so as far as position you take, did you contribute anything to the supreme court in leading up to tomorrow? >> so i'm proud to it be ha signatory to amicus brief, friend of the court brief, in which i was joined by 51 former colleagues, national security officials of both parties. and our view is that this doesn't really address a national security threat. instead it holds up national security as pre-tex. so when this proclamation went into effect, it kept 150 million people from entering this country with the stroke of a pen. that's not the sort of approach to counter terrorism i or my colleagues are familiar w threats come from individuals that's we have vidized vetting system. keeping out whole countries, th
